Went to remove driveshaft and hub (bush that just WILL.NOT.COME.OUT...) to discover that of the six bolts holding it, one was a few mm loose and undid by hand very easily, two more undid by hand and the other three only needed the tiniest of twists with the ratchet before also being very loose. Leading me to think that whoever last put them in went finger tight and forgot to go back and tighten properly. So yet again, the thing I did with my RR was swear at the previous owner!!

Always tempted to fit a rolling message bar at the back window with preset messages such as:I see the battery is on charge!
-switch your lights on
-switch your fog light off (when in the middle of the night)
-stay in lane
-move to the left lane (when hogging the mid lane)

On mine there would be " shall I open the boot so you can drive in?" for the tailgaters.
It'd be too high for them to read....

Is it possible for a dodgy leak off pipe to allow air to be sucked in to the system and cause a stall?

It'll allow air in to cause a long start or dribble on the engine while running matey

ok thanks.. starts straight away but you can hear air being purged when the pump self primes at ignition onIt'll allow air in to cause a long start or dribble on the engine while running matey
can hear a hissing noise from the return pipe when the ignition is on and the pump is running/priming

New battery arrived the other day. Did a top up charge & installed it. Then went for 30min coffee while waiting for Key Code Lockout to time out again. Started first time & finished topping up water in cooling system. Heater working again & only fault was the compressor relay but that's due to low AC gas.
Next job will be flush system & refill with coolant mix, and then rebuild the dash.

I don't think it has been. My mate knows nothing about cars and less about diesels. Asked me if it needed new spark plugs

I went to bmw dealer a few years ago, just to be nosey more then anything serious.
I walked out when he said the modern petrol engines don't need spark plugs anymore
